This was what Stargate and the Loch had tried to do with the Defenders 
of the Coast about 5-6 years ago. :-) We managed to bring together the 
greater Houston area of Westgate, Gate's Edge, Loch Soillier and 
Stargate, however the idea didn't catch on as much with many of the 
other groups. Some of these groups were forming their own war bands at 
the same time, or perhaps had something local already in place.

While I am not one to promote *too* strong of a Regional identity, I am 
very happy to call the other groups in the Coastal Region my neighbors 
and friends. Perhaps we could come together this summer or fall, maybe 
at Autumn Melees, and discuss this? :-) This tends to be a well 
attended event and gives us plenty of time for folks to be thinking 
about the idea.

I do have one strong recommendation: Make whatever heraldry we come up 
with black and gold. :-)

How does that sound?
